Ultrasound investigation of sediment depositions in hydropower reservoir – case study Banje, Albania.

The hydropower industry is facing serious challenges handling sediment hazards. In fact, the world’s total storage capacity is continuously decreasing 1-2% per year due to the sedimentation of reservoirs. The necessity to act accordingly, implies choosing the proper sediment management strategy, as early as in the design phase, and to adapt the system on the sediment and water discharge inflows during the operation of the hydropower plant (HPP). To achieve this goal, a detailed monitoring strategy must be implemented …     «
